| Summary: | Optical 3D geometry reconstruction, or more specific, fringe projection profilometry, is a state-of-the-art technique for the measurement of the shape of objects in confined spaces or under rough environmental conditions, e.g., while inspecting a wrought-hot specimen after a forging operation. While the contact-less method enables the measurement of such an object, the results are influenced by the light deflection effect occurring due to the inhomogeneous refractive index field induced by the hot air around the measurand. However, the developed active compensation methods to fight this issue exhibits a major drawback, namely an additional cooling of the object and a subsequent transient illumination component. In this paper, we investigate the cooling and its effect on temporal phase reconstruction algorithms and take a theoretical approach to its compensation. The simulated compensation measures are transferred to a fringe projection profilometry setup and are evaluated using established and newly developed methods. The results show a significant improvement when measuring specimens under a transient illumination and are easily transferable to any kind of multi-frequency phase-shift measurement.
